I'm in tears, dancing around the kitchen with my beautiful 2 year old

Back on topic, I can't imagine that the 3 year contract extension is going to result in any sort of shake up or improvement in the stale format of the show. Good thing I only have to listen to the show when I'm in the car with my mother once a month!

Loved that piece with the one who fostered 140 kids... Rio I think her name was. Very entertaining imho.

Clanket

She had some stories alright.

The D'arcy show got the boot from my radio till the new year. He really does some insufferable rubbish at this time of year!

True that. Great voice.


Have to admit, that piece about the bobble head Ray just there made me smile. :v

Really enjoyed the show this morning...

Jack L was totally the icing on the cake!!

The last D'Arcy show before Christmas is always pretty cheesy stuff, but it's Christmas which is the time for cheese on TV & the radio so it was a good listen on the 23rd!

I have to say though, when Ray Foley kicked off after D'Arcy his first line was gold, especially since it was said in a clearly pissed-off voice: "I see it's take-your-kids-to-work-and-let-other-people-look-after-them day"

Clare Bear

Anyone know when he's back?

That was brilliant. And all during the foley show that day they were taking the piss out of them....

"So you're sitting at your computer trying to concentrate on a piece of audio, then some three year old comes and starts kicking your monitor, while their parent doesn't even look up from their work and says "ah sure isn't he great!"..." :P

Always hate when the D'Arcy show's team have their sprogs on the air.... but that's because i hate kids in general.

It was brilliant stuff, and I can empathize with Foley! If someone lets their kids run amok and expects other people to watch them it's bad form.

Still though, the show on the 23rd was good that bit notwithstanding!

Loved Foley and gang slagging off the kids.
He better get used to it because Jenny is pregnant again, so we will have to listen to Ray banging on about two kids soon.

What the hell do they put in the water at Today FM? Every few months someone else seems to be up the duff.

The cynical part of me says Darcy got Jenny up the duff again so he felt it better if he proposes to her for the sake of catholic Ireland.The real me thinks it so sweet.

But your right que every single show for the next couple of months about babies and weddings.

zuroph

Congrats to the pair on their engagement

Acoshla

I saw on facebook they were engaged, wondered what had finally pushed him into it, then heard about the pregnancy, it all makes sense! As if Ray Foley wasn't babbling about his kid enough now D'Arcy will ramp up his kid chat even more, need to find a new station...

Laois_Man

I always get a bit confused about how D'Arcy get slagged off for the mere mention of his private life - yet when Gerry Ryan died, the constant theme of the tributes paid to him were about how part of his "brilliance" as a radio presenter was the way in which he let the listener into his personal life (ignoring how that subsequently turned to be a bit of a crock of ****), and one of the constant criticisms I hear about Tubridy is that he's too distant and impersonal from his listeners.

It seems people are never happy either way!

Come on, you can't be serious here. Ray has been a serious critic of the Catholic Church. In all fairness he and Jenny have been together a long time, if he was that worried about Catholic Ireland he would have married her a long time ago. Besides the fact that this is giving no credit to Jenny herself, who may not have wanted to get married til now.

Can people not just be bloody happy for the two of them?! There's so much feckin misery in this country and then 2 people who clearly love each other announce good news and people just want to knock them or find cynical reasons for the marriage. Forget Catholic Ireland, Begrudgery Ireland is alive and well anyway. Best of luck to them I say.
